Steam powered machines may be out of use today for they waste a large part of energy generated by engine and partly because of security issues with the Boiler. But the making of this locomotive is not only about bringing steam engines back to life but also tells the basic science behind its working.


Dubbed as RC Live Steam Tank 1, this locomotive uses Wilesco D49 Marine Double Piston Steam Engine, Mamod SE3 boiler and Alcohol or Solid Fuel Tablets for fuel.



For controlling this machine, there is 2 Channel Futaba RC and with the pressure at about .75 – 1.5 Bars per full tank, it can run for 10-15 minutes.


RC Live Steam Tank has a wonderful design, size and cool factor to make you fall in love with it.
